Meal Moth Pyralis farinalis - One in the garden moth trap on 22nd September 2020. I've recorded this species here just the once before, in 2017.

Large Tabby Aglossa pinguinalis - None. Surprisingly I've only had one of these in North Elmham, indoors in 2015. I used to get them regularly at Bawdeswell before moving here.
Gold Triangle Hypsopygia costalis - Singles here on 4th and 22nd July 2019 and none here in 2020, a poor showing for this species for which I've averaged 5 a year here and never before had a blank. Also one at the meadows on 7th July 2019 and my only 2020 record was at Hills and Holes on 21st May.

Double-striped Tabby Hypsopygia glaucinalis - 4 at home between 28th June and 26th July 2019, my worst showing (average 7 a year). Better in 2020 with 8 between 24th June and 22nd September. Also one at the meadows on 23rd June 2020 and one at Weybourne in 2019.

Rosy Tabby Endotricha flammealis - 2019 was my best year here with over 100 over 31 between 4th July and 11th August. There were quite a few nights I didn't count them so the true total was probably quite a bit higher but 12 on 21st July broke a new record (previously 7) and then the record was broken again with 17 on 23rd July. 2020 was even better with 153 over 49 nights between 12th June and 15th August. Previous annual totals have varied between 39 and 65. Also 8 at the meadows, 5 at Bintree Wood, a daytime record at Foxley Wood and one at Weybourne.
